Motorola Clutch i465
$260.00
Released June, 2009
The Pros:QWERTY keyboard makes messaging easy. Bluetooth. Display is easy to see, crisp and clear.
The Cons:Talk time is very low due to battery capacity. Programming for Boost version is riddled with flaws. Phone resets, and contacts dissapear. Bluetooth does not function well in noisy environments while trying to use direct connect function.
The Motorola Clutch i465 is an iDEN-based mobile candybar phone available from either Sprint Nextel or Boost Mobile. It features a somewhat small 1.79” display with a weak 160x128 resolution, comfortable and easy-to-use controls, and a compact keyboard that combines letters keys with numbers and symbols.

Although the keyboard appears crowded, critics hail it as especially useful for quickly switching between typing messages and dialing numbers. Included also is built-in Bluetooth, integrated GPS, a VGA camera/camcorder, a voice-recorder, an entry-level music player, and of course, support for Boost’s walkie-talkie PTT service. The sprint version is slightly more expensive, but adds along extra features like POP3 email.
